It’s more important than ever to protect the #CleanWaterAct. @EarthJustice created a fantastic resource to understand #SackettvEPA and how it could impact existing protections:
earthjustice.org
A decision is likely in early 2023.
The Clean Water Act is one the most successful, effective, and widely supported pieces of legislation ever enacted. If SCOTUS rolls back its protections, everyone in the United States who relies on access to clean water will be affected. #SCOTUS #SackettvEPA
